HIGHLANDER STUDIOS JOINS TENNESSEE RELEASE OF “UNSUNG HERO” WITH THE MOVIE’S TOP CREATIVE TEAM
"Unsung Hero": A Celebration of Family, Faith, and the Grit Behind Every Dream
The Highlander Studios team recently celebrated a double triumph: the power of storytelling and the bonds of family, showcased in the highly anticipated preview screening of Unsung Hero. This inspiring film shines a spotlight on the perseverance, faith, and relentless drive required to pursue dreams against seemingly insurmountable odds.
At its heart, Unsung Hero is a deeply personal story that resonates universally. It captures the struggles of the Smallbone family, who left their home in Sydney, Australia, to chase their musical aspirations in Nashville, Tennessee. The journey was fraught with financial hardship, personal sacrifice, and countless setbacks, but through faith and determination, they emerged victorious. Today, their story is a testament to the power of perseverance: Rebecca St. James became a trailblazing artist in Christian music, while the family band For King and Country earned Grammy-winning acclaim.
Joel Smallbone Shines as a Triple Threat
The film’s writer, co-director, and star, Joel Smallbone, delivers a passionate and heartfelt portrayal of his family’s trials and triumphs. His dual role as storyteller and performer adds an authenticity that grounds the narrative. Smallbone’s work has already drawn praise for its raw emotional depth and the way it captures the universality of the creative struggle.
A Team Dedicated to Inspirational Excellence
Produced by Andy Erwin, co-founder of Kingdom Story Company, Unsung Hero benefits from the studio’s proven track record of faith-based blockbusters like I Can Only Imagine and Jesus Revolution. Erwin, joined at the premiere by his parents, John and Sheila Erwin, brought his signature touch to the project, ensuring top-notch production values and a compelling cinematic experience.
